  2. 733 leaves route programmed in FMS

    in Flight Procedures and Techniques

    Posted · Edited by THA118

    Hi guys,

    wondering if anyone witnessed this before.. I have still to confirm if it happens regularly but at least it happened once.

    2 days ago I made my 2nd flight on the 733 out of Brussels to Amsterdam.
    As I didn't want to spend too much time setting up the plane (limited time) I choose the 'ready to fly' operation setup.

    I programmed the FMS, departure sids, full route, arrival stars, runways, checked the weights, take off speeds, made sure all IRS were aligned, so basically all there was too it to have the plane safely fly it's route.

    I took off from EBBR, activated the LNAV, VNAV and all was looking good. Then all of a sudden over waypoint 'RIVER', or perhaps just a bit after that the plane made a right roll as if it was leaving it's route and just wanted to go it's own way. I was able to take control by manually selecting a heading, but whenever I tried reactivating LNAV the plane went back into it's right turn. I checked the legs page and there were no discontinuities and all waypoint were setup correctly.

    I'm pretty sure all was setup correctly, especially since I had no problems flying the SID and the plane was on it's way for a perfect flight.

    I still have to confirm if this happens more often but it has kept me thinking for a couple of days now and was wondering if anyone else witnessed this strange behavior.
    Some of you might have more experience flying this bird and might see a reason why the 733 would act in such way..

  5. Navigraph Airac Update + IXEG 733 = Crash

    Strange.

    I downloaded the native navigraph installer for the IXEG and installed it without any problems. 

    And there is no typo in the folder (fmc_data) you created manually ? :)

     

     

    Perhaps it's a faulty download. but prior to triple checking the fmc_data folder, I'm going to give it a try with the FMS installer from Navigraph

    Hi, im using cycle 1701 from navigraph without any problems. So my guess that it have to be something with your installation of the navdata.

    Before you installed the navigraph update and after you took a backup of the original navdata. Did you remove all the files in the fmc_data folder?

    In fact what I did was, I renamed the fmc_data folder to ori_fmc_data, I then created fmc_data as new folder and copied the navdata and sidstars folder from the download to that newly created folder.

    Hi guys,

     

    first of all, congrats on such a wonderful plane ! I bought it yesterday and it's been an absolute amazing experience so far.
    However I ran up to a 'bug' if you may call it.. I manually downloaded the dedicated IXEG 733 navigraph Airac update (1701).
    I first took a backup of my existing (read: original) fmc_data folder and then copied the downloaded navdata and sidstars folder to the fmc_data folder under X-Aviation > IXEG 733

    When I fired up X-plane and after choosing the IXEG 733 from the aircrafts list, x-plans starts loading up, but crashes soon after.
    To confirm this was related to the navigraph data, I think copied back the original fmc_data and retried. This worked like a charm.

    So either there is a bug with the 733 or it's an issue with the airac data.
    I tried using the original navdata map and only updating the sidstars and that seemed to work. In fact I was able to make a test flight using updated Sids and Stars.

    Can this be investigated please?

    Thanks
